Interesting interview with Erin O'Toole. He seemed to be a throwback to socially and environmentally progressive Conservatives of previous decades.

He isn't particularly candid, but the interview is still worth a listen.

I'll need to listen to this. I'm curious to hear about the environmental policy. This has never been a strong suite (imo) of the conservative party.

O'Toole talks about climate change along with pocketbook issues as problems that need to be dealt with.

I don't recall if the Conservative policy under him reflected that, but it's nice to hear him acknowledge that it's an issue.

It's easy to take that stance when you walk away from political accountability. I don't think his platform in 2021 was any more green than Scheer's two years prior.

You're right - it's easy to talk big when you don't have to do anything.

However, acknowledging climate change is better than nothing. I can't believe it's 2023 and we're still giving Conservatives props for acknowledging climate change, but here we are.
